Story
As you all likely know, Paul had a life changing accident in June 2023. He would of course hate us to say it, but his determination through rehab has been nothing short of incredible and he continues to make progress daily.
Now that he is close to his discharge date from hospital, there is a lot of specialised equipment and support that he will need. The NHS provide a bulky manual wheelchair, but it has its limits, and so Paul has opted to put a deposit down on a lighter power-assisted wheelchair that will drastically increase his mobility and consequently, his independence.
These wheelchairs cost well over £10k and so this fundraiser is just to ask the many friends that Paul has for a contribution towards covering the cost. Again, this is not something that Paul has requested and so we would appreciate discretion on the matter, but further down the line we feel that this gesture will really help Paul with the challenges ahead.
It is going to be a long and difficult road physically and mentally but we hope that this contribution will help give him a boost!

3 months agoHi, another update! We received a request to keep it open as so many more people wanted to donate but were/are awaiting payday. So we shall keep it open one more week until the 2nd Feb. There have been so many more donations this week and it has been astonishing to see that amount nearly double! All of you are amazing and I know Paul will be very touched by your generosity. Have a fab weekend x
